Issue Schedule backups executing at a different time

[apaunovski]

So, I have scheduled my backup to execute everyday on 12:00 PM...

Plesk executes it at 03:03PM....

The server clock and the hwclock show the correct time....

What might be the cause?

are you talking about scheduled Server backup or domain backup? and how do you see that it has started with a 3 hour delay, perhaps it is just the time when the backup was finaly created and the backup took 3 hours...

maybe this Knowledgebase Articles will be helpful
Why a scheduled backup is not created at the requested time
Scheduled backup does not start at the scheduled time: plesk-backup-manager-task is missing
Scheduled backup does not run at the scheduled time
How do scheduled backups work?

1. Cron is fine.
2. There is no stuck process.

This article Why a scheduled backup is not created at the requested time helped. Thanks.

OK, so I am confused again...

1. I execute the query to empty the value of 'last' backup time...
2. I expect the backup process to start.
3. Backup time passed... No backup process started...

@apaunovski

As @Brujo suggested already, the reported time in your statement

Plesk executes it at 03:03PM....

should be the time at which the backup process finishes.

In the article Why a scheduled backup is not created at the requested time it is explained that the backup will start if the current time is more than 24 hours apart AND if the current time is more than BackupsScheduled.last + BackupsScheduled.period (see article).

If you want to test your backup and/or re-align your backup process: try to remove the BackupsScheduled.last value by following steps 1 to 3 from the article.
